Shatura Thermal Power Plant
The Shatura Thermal Power Plant is one of the oldest power stations in Russia. The facility is located in Shatura, Moscow Oblast, and generates power by utilizing two 210 MW units, three 200 MW units, and one 80 MW unit, for a total capacity of 1.1 GW. Built in 1925, the power station initially used peat as its fuel source. Later on, the power plant was diversified into multifuel. In 2010, a new combined cycle block of 400 MW was installed. The 80 and 400 MW blocks cannot work on peat.
On November, 23, 2025, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, it was reported by Reuters that Shatura was struck by at least one Ukrainian drone causing a fire.
